Then lie laid his head on the block, uml, stretching out bis hands as a signal, one of the executioners severed his be id from Ids body ut a blow,wuilu the other, holding it up, exclaimed : "'1 his is the bend of a traitor!" The spectators testified their horror In sighs, tcurs, and lamentations. The regicides h.id risen to power as the chumpiousof liberty, but the execution of the king was an act of unjustiiiuule tyranny. It is a curious fact that the sheet tlia' receivel tl, cloud of Charles I, after its decapitation, is carefully preserved, nlong with the communion jilatc, In tbe church of Ashbnrnliain. The blood, with which it wn almost entirely covered, turned nearly black. The watch of the unfortunate monarch was al-o deposited with the linen. These relics came Into the possession of Lord Ashhurnham immediately after the death of the king. The body of Charles I was buried at Windsor, in tlio vault that had already received tho body of Henry VIII. The quaint historian, Lilly, states flint many Iiave curiously inquired who it was that cutoff tlio king's head, and be says: "I have no permission to speak of such things, tivAy thus much 1 bay, he tliut did It is as valiant mid resolute a muu us lives, and ono of a compe tent lortiine." Lilly also observes : "The next Sunday but one after Charlos I was beliended, Itoliert Spavin, secretary unto Lltm-tcnant-Gcnernl Cromw-cll ut that time, invited liimsclf to dine with me, and brought Anthony I itr.-on Htid teverul others along with him to din ner. Their principal discourse nt the time wai who It was bi headed the king. One said it was the common hangman; another, Hugh Peters ; and others also were nominated, but none con cluded. Itobcrt Spavin, so socn us dinner was done, took me by the band, and curried me to the couth window; said he, Thoe are all mistaken; they have not niuicd the man that did the art. It was Lieutennnt Colontl Jotce. I was in the room when he lilted himself for the work ; stood behind hitn when he did it ; when done, went in again w ith him. There is no man knows this but my master (Cromwell;, IreloG, "Pd myself,'" A.H'i now ftr & parallel scene of deep tragedy, enacted across the water. On January 21, 17!Hi, nt eight o'clock in the morning, Louis XVI entered the carriage In which be was to be con veyed to execution. The procession was nearly two hours in reaching the pluco appointed, formerly called the l'lace de Louis XV, but whli h was then denominated l'laco de la Invo lution. The interval was employed by the king In his dcvotlonB, und lu reading the prayeyi fur the dying. When the carriage stopped at tho scaffold the ling said, " Hons voici done arrives" (then hero we are). He pulled oil' his coat, unbuttoned the Iitck of his shirt, ascended thu scuirold, and sur sr,.veri for a few minutes the immensu multitude ; then amiroactiins the edira.be made a motion for filencc, and with a raised voice B.iid, in trench, ,f which wc Bive the translation : " frenchmen 1 die innocent. I forcivc my enemies; and I lope that France " but tho king's voice wus ilrowned in the noise ot the drums. Three executioners then approacked to seize Jjuuin XVI. At the sight of a cord, with which one of them attempted to tlo his arms, tho king Lowed fii'ns of indignation, nnd seemed ubout to resist. bnt almost Immediately after submitted. The executioners luid hold of him, and placed liim on the iruillotine. The Abbe Kdgeworth, the king's confessor, then knelt down with his fa: e rear to that or tne King, ono pronounceu uioun these words : "fill V St. l.ouit, tnonUi au ciel." fCloliI of St. Louis, ascend to heaven). The blow fell, and the Abbe Kdgeworth ' face was snr ink led with the kings blood. Tho cxe cutloners walked round the scallold holding up the king's head to be seen by the people, and some cries were heard of "Vive la Nation" "Vive la llepubliiiuc " (Long live tho Nation. Long live the Republic.) There have been manv French revolutions even In our time.

MinRtM and BMr lim hnllla. On the Mth ultimo the It oyal Oeographical Society reconimencca Its meetings in London for the season, Sir Roderick Murehlson presiding. Captain Hurton read a paper "Oa the T resent Stuteof Knowledge Respecting the Source of the Nile," lu w hh h he railed in question many of tb.3 statements and Inferences that had been m ule by l uptMin Spekc. He denied, In the first Instance, the ixisti nee of so I .life a lake as tho Victoria Nj nna where Captain Spoke bad described it to be. and consequen iy he disputed that the Nile took its Koiii'C lioin tli.it lake. lie asslgtied social f.a, ins for disbelieving tliut there was sin It r lake, lie ass -rted that the It vel ol tho lake was not sutli lentlv li gh lor the sour' e of so huge u river, and Ir mi the testimony ot tlio Arabs, a ronl pised throiiti whit w is said to lie tlif n litre ol the lake. Anolh. r ro l-on why he lb ngb' the Ny.m.a could not lu '.ho source of the Nile, was that the periods of the nlkgeil gtcnte-t elevation of the water did not corn sp, nd Willi the overllow ot linn river. T he word Nyann is npp'led by the African tiibes to any body of water, Nva.a and Nynna being Inditlin ntly used with tho same siguilic tion. The Mountains of the Moon, which were luid down some of Captain Spekc's early map, bud, he said, really no existence, or nt least there was no runt'c of mountains ot such a magnitude es had been dcstrib d. 1 lie lunar mount tins wero represented to bo of tlm lorm of a horie shoe, and to enclose the north end of the LV(0 Targaiie.kii, some ol' the moiiiitmns being said to I e ten thousand feet hiir.li. Ho did not de.iy that Ihi re were some bills mi tba' direction, but tiny were not continuous, and Captain linrton contemn d that from the north of that Inke a river Hows into other lakes to the north wards, and finally Into the Nile; the Luke Tanga nyika, sitiiu'cd much further to tho northwest, Icing the source from which the chief waters of Hie Nile are derived, lie denied, uowovnr, that tliut or any river took Its source from a lako, the ri al soiitces of the Nile being the rivers that fed the lake from which the stream Issues. Capt iln llurion mid he was fur from wishing to detract from the great merit which was due to dipt lin Spt ke as nn intelligent and adventurous explorer, but he thoiicht it whs desirable that further ex- loratiwn should lie mado to settle tne question of 11. e sources ot tlio no( which lie eonsioeieu nun rot yet been determined, lie Inclined to think that a hike situated to ihe norlieastol thercpofed Victoria Nyan. i is the source ol the v bite Nile, nnd the Assnara. which flows from it. was mis taken by Captain Speku lor a tributary, when it Is, in fact, the main stream. Dr. Llvinirstiine confirmed some of Captain Burton's views respecting Lake T.iniraiieik i. lie mid when traveling to the westward of that lake he 6aw several rivers flowing towards it from a high plateau upwards of two thousand feet high. He nstccd with Cantam Burton us to tho eeiiernl siunilicaiion of the word Nyanzu, nnd he said he hud Intended to cull the Luke Nyaza by that name, but finding thnt the latter term had been used, he did not wi-h to chango it. Tho north of l.tike Nva.a had not been explored, owing to the borders being in possc-slon of hostile tribes; but Dr. Livingstone considered it not improbable that a river (lowed from it ino thu more northern lakes. 11c was of opinion that thn Nile originated from several hikes in that part of Africa, und that it could not be traced to any ono source. Mr. Ualton defended the statements of Captain Spcke, and contended that tho objection to the LiihoNyaiiza being the source of the Nile, founded on its low Itvel, was removed by the knowlodgo of the fact that the instrument with which tho level was taken was very imperfect, und could not lie depended on. A letter from M. dn Chaillu to Sir Roderick JIurcliison was read, in which ho stated that he wus about to proceed into the interior of Africa. He purposcJ pursuing the lino of the equator, until ho came to some largo rivor flowing north wurds, which he intended to follow till it reached the Mediterranean, and he hoped in that manner to come to tho mouth of the Nile. He was taking with him one hundred people, forty ol whom would bo employed in carrying his guns and ammunition, of which be hoped to make great use. lie said ho had caught three gorillas, w hich he Intended to have sent alive to this country, lint two of them had died. Tho other had been shipped to Knglund, and ho hoped it would arrive safely. Ho has forwarded also iome fine skeletons' of gorillas and many other specimens of natural history.

These two vtclis art. but a few weeks old, aud have every Indication of bcoomlng very large walla. 1 bree other wells are lu process of boring, and will bo finished on cr before the first of January; and from the Indications, we believe they will all bo largely prodnutive. One other well was jti,t commenced, aud will bo pushed rapidly to completion. The whole of the properly, except the half aero on whloh the homestead stands, has been lessed, and It In tne liandi of espetlenc. d and energetic men, who wl 1 spare no pina or expeuee to develop the property irk thu best manner, aud In the shor est possible limo.

We have no doubt that the Company's Interest one fourth roialtynow about (Iftv-flve barrels perday, which at $10 Is w.ll be greatly increased by tho flr.t of January next ; and as Ihe land will admit of twenty wells being bond upon It, a good Idea may be formed of the Immense yield wl.iihv.lll result vtheaall are m.Uhid.
